Subsequent to her loss of the 2016 United States presidential election, Hillary Clinton retired from electoral politics and has since engaged in a number of activities.
In their respective roles as a former president and a former first lady, Bill and Hillary Clinton attended the inauguration of Donald Trump with their daughter, Chelsea. The morning of the inauguration Clinton wrote on her Twitter account, "I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values, I will never stop believing in our country & its future." [1]
Clinton delivered a St. Patrick's Day speech in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on March 17, 2017. In it, alluding to reports that she had been seen taking walks in the woods around Chappaqua following her loss in the presidential election, [2] [3] Clinton indicated her readiness to emerge from "the woods" and become politically active again. [2] However, the following month she confirmed she would not seek public office again. [4] She reiterated her comments in March 2019 and stated she would not run for president in 2020. [5]
In May 2017, Clinton announced the formation of Onward Together, a new political action committee that she wrote is "dedicated to advancing the progressive vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election". [6] During 2017, she spoke out on a number of occasions against Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with the American Health Care Act, which she called "a disastrous bill" [7] and a "shameful failure of policy & morality by GOP". [8] In response to the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack, Clinton said the U.S. should take out Bashar al-Assad's airfields and thereby "prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them". [9]
On April 28, 2020, Clinton endorsed the presumptive Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, for president in the 2020 election [10] and she addressed the 2020 Democratic National Convention in August. [11] On October 28, 2020, Clinton announced that she was on the 2020 Democratic slate of electors for the state of New York. [12] After Biden and Kamala Harris won New York State, thereby electing the Democratic elector slate, Clinton and her husband served as members of the 2020 United States Electoral College and cast the first of the state's electoral votes for Biden and Harris. [13] [14]
On May 2, 2017, Clinton said Trump's use of Twitter "doesn't work" when pursuing important negotiations. "Kim Jong Un ... [is] always interested in trying to get Americans to come to negotiate to elevate their status and their position". Negotiations with North Korea should not take place without "a broader strategic framework to try to get China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, to put the kind of pressure on the regime that will finally bring them to the negotiating table with some kind of realistic prospect for change." [15] While delivering the commencement speech at her alma mater Wellesley College on May 26, Clinton asserted President Trump's 2018 budget proposal was "a con" for underfunding domestic programs. [16] On June 1, when President Trump announced the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, Clinton tweeted that it was a "historic mistake". [17]
On September 29, 2019, in an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning , Clinton described Trump as a "threat" to the country's standing in the world, describing him as a "corrupt human tornado". [18] She also described Trump as an "illegitimate president", despite him having won the 2016 presidential election. While recognizing that she had indeed lost to Trump, she said that she considered him "illegitimate" because she asserted that his election victory had been assisted by voting restrictions in certain states and Russian influence efforts. [19]
In March 2021, Clinton voiced her support for the United States Senate to abolish the Senate filibuster if it proves necessary to do so in order to pass voting rights legislation. Clinton called the Senate filibuster "another Jim Crow relic". [20]
In a May 2021 interview with The Guardian , Clinton called for a "global reckoning" with disinformation, and for the accountability of major social media platforms such as Facebook. [21]
Clinton's third memoir, What Happened , an account of her loss in the 2016 election, was released on September 12, 2017. [22] A book tour and a series of interviews and personal appearances were arranged for the launch. [23] What Happened sold 300,000 copies in its first week, [24] [25] fewer than her 2003 memoir, Living History, but triple the first-week sales of her previous memoir, 2014's Hard Choices. [24] [26] Simon & Schuster announced that What Happened had sold more e-books in its first-week than any nonfiction e-book since 2010. [24] As of December 10, 2017, the book had sold 448,947 hardcover copies. [27]
An announcement was made in February 2017 that efforts were under way to render her 1996 book It Takes a Village as a picture book. [28] Marla Frazee, a two-time winner of the Caldecott Medal, was announced as the illustrator. [28] Clinton had worked on it with Frazee during her 2016 presidential election campaign. [29] The result was published on the same day of publication of What Happened. [30] [29] The book is aimed at preschool-aged children, although a few messages are more likely better understood by adults. [29]
In October 2019, The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience , a book Clinton co-wrote with her daughter Chelsea, was published. [31] In February 2021, Clinton announced that she was co-writing her first fiction book with Louise Penny.

[45] In late-2020, it was announced that Clinton was slated to serve an executive producer of a drama series about the fight for women's suffrage in the United States titled The Woman's Hour. The series, based upon Elaine Weiss' book of the same name, was announced to air on The CW. [46]

Commenting on taking up the position, she said that "the university is making waves internationally for its research and impact and I am proud to be an ambassador and help grow its reputation for excellence". Queen's Pro-Chancellor Stephen Prenter said that Clinton on her appointment "will be an incredible advocate for Queen's" who can act as an "inspirational role model". [51] [52] However, her inauguration was protested by some students. [53]
